- Massive thanks to Bergen Klatresenter Fana for hosting us this day. They stripped the wall for us so we could bring this struggle fest to you all!
In this video me, Matilda Söderlund and Pete Whittaker battle it out on boulders we've individually set to be at our favorite style, making it the others anti-style. Enjoy!

Emil's boulder: wrist and shoulders pain
Matilda's boulder: fingers and core pain
Pete's boulder: pain
i love this, you actually made me laugh 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I want Pete to set all the problems in the next boulder world cup. Just imagine it haha
haha that would be so funny actually, I'd pay good money to see that
I want to see this. His boulder was really nice and honestly, I would love to see the very high level strugle on this style
Great idea!
I’m envisioning a paddle dyno where the center hold is a hand jam
@@paulgaras2606 We need to create a lobby for this
Pete is so comfortable with being uncomfortable that he doesn't realize how painful crack climbing is for normal human beings 😅 also it's mind blowing how well rounded he is, might not be the absolute best at anything but definitely up there in almost every style.
He is probably the best crack climber in the world (or at least he recently was), but yeah he is very well rounded.
Pete is a freak, love to see his versatility get recognition. I was just talking about this the other day: who is the best climber in terms of hard sends in a variety of styles (slap, vert, steep, crack)? I can't think of anyone who has sent 5.14+ (9a) in each style. Tommy Caldwell, Carlo Traversi, and obviously Adam Ondra come to mind.
@@CJski Dave McLeod probably is really up there as a very strong jack of trades, 8C boulder, 9A sport, E 11 trad, freaking 8C free solo (what the hell), if i remember he repeated the some of the hardest Ice Climbing as well, the dude can climbing in a super fitness style overhang as well as being really really techy, and he still slap like 8b+ boulders at age 44. He's as well rounded as it gets
@@wircoal of course! Idk how I forgot about Dave! Doesn’t really crack climb though.
@@CJski That's right ! Though trad climbing and crack climbing are really intertwined, and trad route often have some crack moves here and there so i can easily imagine him being good at it as well haha
Watching Matilda climb her boulder, I didn't internalize how huge those moves are until I saw Emil have to literally jump and cut loose on like 4 moves in a row. Her crimp lockoff strength is unreal. And Pete is truly such a well-rounded climber.
But Emil's boulder style is my favorite >:)
seriously, I think I'd rip all of my pulleys attempting Matilda's route 💀
Can't wait for the next videos with both you guys, such a fun few days. Thanks so much 😀
Cheers mate. Can’t wait for the next time! I’m already cooking up some ideas..
@@EmilAbrahamsson really like the concept, cheers
@@EmilAbrahamsson Idea: cram the two-day thing into one (call Honnold for that one too).
THATS where I know you from, reel rock! You looked so familiar all the time but I just didn't get it 😂 now I'm not surprised, the level of your boulder here is a similar kind of crazy 😂 amazing to watch, I'd love another collab!
Anyone who can honestly describe their favorite style of climbing as “squirming” is terrifying. Pete is an absolute beast. That said, Matilda’s boulder looked the hardest for my own style. Microscopic holds with garbage feet; I can hear my pulleys popping just watching it!
She referred to it as "minimalist" which is a huge understatement. I don't think you go any more spartan without just climbing the bolt holes and plywood edges. Watching her practically scramble it, I kept expecting a fall and a few changes right up until she topped.
I'm not very strong, and I especially don't have a lot of upper body strength, so I already struggle with overhang. I rely a lot on my dance training, on being able to balance almost indefinitely as long as I have a stable toe on the hold, so I think I'd be more able to try a boulder like Pete's than like the other 2 (although all of these are massively above my level, I just do this for fun)
It’s insane how easy each climber makes their signature climb look. It reminds me of the concept of having a random perfectly average person competing in the Olympics just for comparison. Mad respect for setting and trying such difficult boulders!
@georgexander7170 Dude you've made almost the same reply on 4-5 other peoples comments. Fucking chill out
SOOO TRUE
It’s amazing to see what a well rounded climber Pete is. He’s not only one of the best crack and trad climbers in the world, he also shines on climbs like Matilda’s and Emils which aren’t usually his style. Stunning to see such a talented athlete
Right?! One move away from climbing all of them.
Yeah but he just skips the hardest parts of all of em. He really wimped out hard on this so hard
@@hinglemingleberry253 but he literally only skipped the start of Emil’s and climbed all of his own and Matilda’s?
I'm so impressed with how Mattilda just elegantly swims from crimp to crimp. She inspired me to have an entire session just focusing on crimps
21:30 Pete: "That's just finger strength" Me: "And a hell of a lot pain tolerance!"
And a proper lot of crazy😂
I think Pete's boulder had multiple positions and moves that the other two likely never experienced before. His style is so different from typical bouldering. It's like his route was in a completely foreign language.
Pete has this unhealthy trait of just doing something when he puts his mind to it. Pain can't stop him. You really see it by how nackered he is after that yellow boulder. He gives it everything like its a free solo attenpt. Amazing to see, also how he can do that time after time without any serious injuries.
Man has a very impressive red point
Fab video for several reasons. 1) shows the amazing variety that exists in climbing; 2) shows how what's easy for some can be impossible for others (watching Emil fall off Mathilda's flash and vice-versa was great) and 3) how specialized most elite climbers become (except Pete, who is elite at everything apparently). I wish the IFSC would set more like this and reduce the endless parkour that competition climbing has become.
Totally agree with you
Exactly!☝️
And there would be even more, e.g. slabs
(Of course Pete's been practising parkour lately and seems to be a natural in that too, so yeah, any style 😆)
Matilda was so supportive and made such a great route. So fun to watch her climb!
I was so surprised that she’s thinking she should have made it harder when it looks impossibly hard, and the way she just cruised it.
She sure is a QUEEN “Who run the world? GIRLS!”
Matilda's lockoff strength is amazing, and her body tension is just spectacular. Watching her flash that problem was unreal
Pete looking exhausted makes me concerned for everyone involved
I literally spat out my beer laughing, watching Emil flip out. "OH MY F@CKING GOD PETE YOU MANIAC!!!"
Love that the start of Petes boulder look like it`s giving birth to the climber! 😂
Pete's ability to try, and to endure, is so beyond impressive.
Pete is unique, is preferred climbing style is suffering, what ever is most uncomfortable, painful and exhausting is where he feels at home
His preferred style is suffering, I'm dead😂😂😂
This looks like a dream comp set ngl.
No joke, i actually had the exact same thought as I was editing this, would be loads of fun to see in a comp
cant get over how strong pete is in a variety of styles
lmao hope ur just trollin@georgexander7170
Pete talking about Donut Jams while I'm sitting here eating a jelly donut really makes me feel like I'm improving myself as a climber 😅
Live your dreams 😂
The slight difference is that Pete is the best crack climber the world has yet seen. He's not just a brilliant crack climber, he's an entirely different level to anyone else.
My god, Pete's boulder looks disgustingly cool! This setting challenge with the 3 different styles was super fun to watch! Keep it up Emil!
Keep having Matilda on the channel 🙌 She has such an elegant climbing style
I love to see how different styles can be in climbing. Each of them would have probably given their boulder the same grade but trying a different style feels just so much harder.
There is endless variety in climbing and that makes me excited!
coincidently I seem to remember us all saying our own boulder was 7B+, and then everyone else massively disagreeing, haha
@@WideBoyz there you go! :D
I so agree, that’s why climbing just never gets boring 😁❣️
Just consider this - Pete is best at endurance. But he still was insane here... The man really is a world class in my eyes! :D (All of you are
Pete!! What can't he do?? Beyond being so good at anything thrown at him, seems like such a a nice, positive guy.
First time watching matilda and i love her attitude! she's so eager and positive and her style is so pleasant to watch
This was so much fun! Congrats Emil for the 100.000 subs!
Thank you! 😄😄
When I climb, I am definitely a big fan of slopers and compression moves, but when it comes to pure entertainment... Pete's setting is the best 🤣
More videos like this please! This perfectly portrays one of the beauties of climbing, how effortlessly you find a climb of your style, and how impossible climbs of the anti-style feels.
I very much enjoy this format and you guys are all incredibly good climbers. Emils problem looks straight up impossible to me, Mathilda is so graceful on the tiniest holds (9a, are you kidding me?) and Pete is probably my favourite climber to watch, even better when other super strong climbers try to repeat his routes. He is not only strong, his technical level is simply insane. I loved every minute of this.
This to me 🚬 is climbing.
Seriously what a great video all the problems were insane. Mathilda’s boulder was so pure. Then the raw power of Emil and Pete’s insane boulder.
I’m also really impressed by Pete, almost got all three, what a beast.
Pete woke up and chose violence on this one
After watching this, I am now doubly convinced that Matilda needs to try Burden of Dreams!
Great video as well - really loved seeing all the individual styles shine through. Not only within each of your respective climb, but even in the approach in trying the others. Very, very cool!
"Pete, you maniac!" That made my day 🤣
I thought the Sloping was just brutal and insane, and the crack was really tough on flexibility and finger strength, but I'd say Matilda's crimp climb style was amazing. I loved how she was so slow and methodical even though it was all fingers and toes
As a crack climber, "Squirming" as Pete put it is also my favorite style of climbing.
crazy how easy everyone makes their own boulders look and how hard they make eachothers look
100.000 lets gooooooo emil!
congratulations. thats a big achivement imo
can we expect a special little video where you will celebrate? :D
keep on doing what you do dude, your contant is a great addition to the other climbing channels here on yt.
Cheers
Cheers homie, appreciate that.
I've got something special planned, will release it early august!
@@EmilAbrahamsson sweet. That's great to hear. I'm eager to see what you have planned. I mean you did once a boulder by only using screws. So perhaps this time you will integrate the silver play button into the boulder problem? :D
I guess I will have to wait an see
Will you celebrate this achievement today?
If so I wish you a great time
@@yanniymj Haha I've seen that suggestion here and there, I think it's a great one. I might do that as a separate video, would be loads of fun.
I'm not a person who celebrates a lot on my own, but I'm sure I'll find a fun way to do it soon 🙂
what an amazing video - It just shows how you can perform exceptionally well at one style and still have so much to learn about others! Thank you Emil, make more of this type
I started to watch climbing content this week and...it just shifts the borders of "This is not possible for a human" with every video I watch. Love you all.
This was actually such an amazing video! I always get the feeling of, "Oh, I can definitely do that." when I watch you climb because you make it look so easy. But seeing Pete and Matilda struggle immensely on your problem (who are super strong and great climbers in their own right) brings me back to my normal V7 reality. 😂 Same when everyone else tried each other's problem. Everyone made theirs look so easy till the others tried it.
This is up there with one of my favourite bouldering videos, absolutely amazing seeing 3 crushers being pushed to their limits and making them look almost human again, great personalities too
Another super fun video with the 'mad rad trio'. Do you call a climber still an allrounder if he's just excellent in simply every style there is? Pete, what a beast. 100K, yay.
WOW EMIL THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING VIDEO! Maybe you can make more videos like this in the future. SO fun to watch each climber set their own boulder style and see everyone try each other's! I love this theme a lot 🤟
Pete is a beast in terms of will power!
Congrats to a 100 000 Subs.
Keep pushing my guy, love this channel.❤🎉😂😊
Thanks a ton mate. Support from people like you make the content happen!
Pete is so strong and so utility climber! Just wow ;)
Absolutely loved the editing. The 'OK Pete OK' during the first jam is where I absolutely lost it.
Emil your content has been such a breath of fresh air in climbing TH-cam and I really love watching your videos. You're a huge inspiration to keep climbing and keep learning.
pete's pain endurance is like god level. Dont forget his deadhang world record
matilda should try excalibur! Its totaly her style!!! what a machine
It is amazing to see the effort they all put in the boulders. And a great sign of modesty that they thought their own boulders would be too easy.
Might be one of the coolest boulder videos i seen for a while! Thanks for that. And congrats for 100k! 💪
Loving these collabs with Pete & more to come! Looks like Emil is the new Magnus. Congrats on the 100k. It'll be 1m in no time
Great video, fun to see all 3 of you struggling in the different styles. Very impressive showing from Pete there too.
Emil, in deep pain : AAAAARGH
Matilda : yes
Emil, in even deeper pain : YAAAAAAAAEEERH
Matilda : nice.
This is probably one of my favourite videos I’ve seen this year.
So great to see how different the styles of climbing can be (and these weren’t even set at your limits).
It's really nice to see you all enjoying the suffering and progression of the others. Interesting and very inspiring. I love this video - all about passion for climbing, having fun with friends and progressing together.
Thanks a ton mate for your support. I truly appreciate it
cant get over how strong pete is in a variety of styles. This was so much fun! Congrats Emil for the 100.000 subs!.
I love this! So many times i try to explain to people don't let the grade stop you just try it maybe it suits your style and this is that exactly.
Fantastic video. Such an interesting master class of differing strengths and how comfortable each climber on their own. Pete ... wow what a balanced climber, and seeing how hard he tries.. more please ... inspirational especially so being how supportive everyone is. What I love about climbing
Great to watch all the different styles based on one another's specialties. Pete's half-crimp hangboard training has been coming in clutch!!! Cool to see the donut move for the first time...imagine that move in a Comp boulder
The centipede move should be called the thinker, kinda looks like the thinker statue pose
Imagine Adam Ondra showing up at the end of the vid just casually flashing all three boulders🤣
Absolutely in love of this style content!
Inspiring to see strong efforts on completely different style.
P.S. the centipede alternative naming could be chicken bar or knee wing. 😅
I immediately thought of "the captain morgan", but that may be a bit of a region specific reference.
I'd watch this same style video but with new boulders over and over again! so cool.
Such an awesome idea for a video! Would love to see a series of climbers of different styles setting routes for eachother
I love the thumbnail so much, it embodies exactly how each hold is seen:
Crimp is orderly, sloper is nuts, and crack climbing is just trauma
For a second my youtube worlds collided as Emil said 'Let's get cracking' which is the standard and iconic opening line from one of my absolute favourite channels. Weird how deeply that's engraved to my brain.
I loved this combo. Absolute beats in their own style. It's interesting to see the different approches and how everybody brings their style into the other boulders.
Have to love the energy of Pete, he has an amazing try-hard mentality. Great video, thanks
Great couple of videos (I subbed after the first one :D) These really makes you see what having a favorite style means at high level x) Those boulders were mad ! Great work to all of you (geez those crimps made me feel the pain in my fingers)
Congrats on 100k subscribers, Emil. Really well-deserved. And a brilliant video to mark it with. I would honestly watch 5 more that were exactly the same idea, it's so interesting to see everyone's strengths and weaknesses on display like this 👍
Probably my favourite climbing video
I feel like i naturally gravitate towards matilda’s style. I really like the way that that kind of climbing feels. Precise, fine tuned, controlled. It fits my perfectionistic side. But i also have learned to enjoy the full commitment style that you set Emil. Its so fun to have to pull hard, squeeze hard, commit, and just power through beyond what you think you can do. You really feel strong when you climb like that. Its very physical. Then Pete. I dont know what exactly to think about his. It is very traditional. Climbing the natural weaknesses in rock does often require visionary creativity and adaptiveness. The donut jam looked so cool. And ive definately encountered it in my trad climbing. The rest of the moves were just as obscure and unique. I think that its all climbing, its all beautiful, and it was amazing to see all of you succeed in your strengths and really show off, but also struggle and fight to adapt to a style that is less familiar. It just goes to show that climbing can take a moment to learn, but a lifetime to master. Very cool video.
YEEEEEES!!! I've been really looking forward to this video! Sadly, I have to wait for my boyfriend to acctually watch it... 😅or do I...? 😏
Haha I appreciate the love. While I'd of course like you to see it right away, I'm sure a lot of content is best consumed with a friend or loved one. Hope you two enjoy it!
"Human Centipede" literally made my wife say "what kind of video are you watching?!"
Pete's "Thats cool..." at 24:03 is awesome. He was truly impressed to see him using a weird knee-elbow jam that Pete may never have seen before.
@georgexander7170 I understand. It just struck me as a thing Pete might never have seen before
@@TheElite1310 It’s very cool to see
I think Matilda should give Burden of Dreams a go.
This is probably my favorite climbing video ever. I've watched it at least a dozen times. Great job!
That is a whole lot of strength and technique in one room.
Hi, just wanted to say that you guys are such an inspiration. Watching your videos always makes me exicted for my next bouldering session. It truly would be my dream to be able to do have me and my friends set boulders for each other.
3 beautiful people, 3 beautiful climbing styles! Very nice.
That hand-foot match on Matilda’s boulder was sick.
This was a phenomenal video. It shows how route setting and a climber’s individual style influences how they climb. All the problems looked so interesting, Mathilde’s crimps looked absolutely insane, Pete’s I was worried you could find an alternate way, but you were so right, it’s a visionary problem, so unassuming but so tough. Superb video, it would be awesome to see more like this
A great video to show that even at the top level we can all seem human (except Pete)
I love this masterclass v masterclass video concept. Its great to see just how good each is at their own style even compared to killer climbers of other styles and then each gets to learn things from each other.
Every coach: dont put your feet too high if it isn't necessary!
Pete: imma ignore that
😂😂😂
this video is a prime example on "how to benefit from your climbing buddies". Love it
I could totally see the Pete's boulder in a competion. An awkward start, complex moves and switching between static and dynamic styles.
Pete is a monster and his sheer endurance is insane!
Little known fact - Pete body doubled Ewan McGregor in the toilet scene of Trainspotting because no one else could squirm in there and felt comfortable in the uncomfortable.
Great video, shows how tricky is for climbers do a boulder out of their comfort zone.
It's so interesting how effortless each of you is in your style, but then struggle with each other's.
As a non climber, I am always fascinated by crack climbing in particular. It’s just so different from anything else.
i love petes comical fall at 16:39. he just flopped off the wall while holding his position
To set a route you can flash, but is tough for you to flash, is amazingly precise in and of itself!
What a way to start my Tuesday. PS. Congrats on 100K subs 🎉🎉
Thanks mate, feels kind of crazy!
